What is a dalton used for?

A dalton expresses atomic and molecular masses, commonly used in chemistry, biochemistry, and proteomics.

What does one tonne represent?

One tonne equals exactly 1,000 kilograms and is used to measure large masses in science, industry, and commerce.

Why convert from daltons to tonnes?

Converting connects microscopic atomic or molecular masses with macroscopic masses used for industrial and environmental measurements.
